JC Online on Time Zones in Tippecanoe County

Dan Shaw for the Journal & Courier has an article on the time zone hearing in Tippecanoe County. Basically, the web poll and phone poll broke about 2 to 1 in favor of Central time whereas the speakers at the hearing last night were just slightly over 50% in favor of eastern time. The players and their arguments seemed about what you’d expect. Chamber of Commerce types pushing the party line; folks who don’t want their TV schedules changed; people who see that Indiana is far into the natural Central time zone; people who figure we’re closer to Chicago than to New York.
